Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the recommendations.
Purpose
Administration suggests that all the fees and charges be approved by bylaw to provide a consistent approach and eliminate distinguishing between fees that can be imposed by resolution, and those fees that must be imposed by bylaw.
Summary
As per the Budget Philosophy approved by Council on June 13th, 2017, all user fees are reviewed and updated on an annual basis by the department responsible for administrating the fee as part of the budget process. This annual review ensures that fees are consistent with changes to services levels, delivery methodology and all costs associated with delivering a particular service.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications:
MGA s. 8(c) requires that fees for permits, licences and approvals must be established by bylaw. MGA s. 191 provides that the amendment or repeal of a bylaw must be made in the same way as the original bylaw.
Financial Impact:
As per 2018 Spring Operating Budget
